The idea behind the DNB is good.
Private telcos are driven by commercial and profit interests. They would invest in areas that give them the good Return of investment (ROI), that would mean Klang valley and the state capitals in malaysia. And places like East Malaysia (oops called Borneo States now), and East Coast will be underinvested.
I come from low yield area , and i can tell you, some telcos never bother to upgrade the network here for years due to perceived low base users and low ROI.
DNB is to get all the local telcos to combine their resources for fast role out nationwide.
Instead of , 5 telcos building 5G network in same city, why not assign 5 of them to build it in 5 different cities, and let them share their network?
lets take HSBB for example
in the past few years, HSBB is hard to be covered every place nationwide. chances are some suburbs and rural areas TM say no demand so no fiber for your place and you are stuck with dated copper lines. actually is because TM thinks there is no good ROI to serve fiber for low demand areas. only recently with Jendela (PN) or formerly NFCP (PH) we can see more and more suburbs/rural areas with fiber coverage
TM HSBB was good idea? HSBB was suppose to have low cost to deploy, in the end we still pay expensive fiber service until now
go back to 5G swn, even in the past 4g era none of countries in the world manage to have successful swn as per GSMA data.

will we risk that 5G swn to become just another HSBB in future?
